Back to Work

Break infinite scrolling with gentle, escalating reminders on social media feeds and any custom site you add.

Bug Fixes (v0.4.1): - Fixed an issue where temporary snooze/pause did not halt active reminders on tracked domains. - Improved real-time status synchronization across open tabs. Are you tired of strict website blockers that lock you out entirely, only for you to disable or uninstall them the moment you actually need access? Back to Work takes a radically different approach. We believe in mindful friction, not forced restriction. Instead of acting like a strict blocker, this extension acts like a gentle tap on the shoulder, breaking the hypnotic spell of infinite scrolling on distracting feeds and websites. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS • UNRESTRICTED ACCESS No subscriptions, no hidden paywalls, and no locked features. Full customization for everyone, without limitations. HOW IT WORKS When you spend too much time on a distracting site, Back to Work gently blurs your screen and presents a simple choice: 1. Leave the site and get back to your real goals. 2. Press and hold a button for a few seconds to keep scrolling. It sounds simple, but here is the catch: The friction escalates. Every time you choose to ignore the reminder, the "hold-to-continue" button takes slightly longer to complete (Difficulty Multiplier). It turns mindless doomscrolling into a conscious, deliberate, and increasingly tedious decision. KEY FEATURES • Track Any Website: Works across popular social media feeds out of the box, with the ability to add any custom domain directly from your settings. • Escalating Friction: Set your own base hold time and multiplier. Browsing becomes progressively harder the longer you procrastinate. • Per-Site Customization: Every website is different. Customize initial reminder thresholds, repeat intervals, and idle timeouts individually. • Flexible Pause Menu: Need to do deep research or take a break? Use the pause menu to temporarily snooze reminders for 15 minutes, 1 hour, or the rest of the day. • Visual Activity Dashboard: View your daily active time and session habits per domain right inside the modern options menu.
